It looks like scholar.social is starting to engage in doxxing too.
@frayoshi@qoto.org @trinsec@qoto.org @freemo@qoto.org wow that was rude af. another reason why fedi would be better if everyone was on their own personal instance
@EubieDrew @MrsDi @freemo I’d like to contribute to your furry tip-jar, Dr Freemo, so here’s my dog Bagel sporting an autumn hat…
I just learned of several more instances that have removed us from block lists.. Im glad to see so many instance admins are willing to listen to reason and have changed their decisions in light of the facts and evidence. From what I hear it wasnt just my emails but the efforts of so many in the community showing support for us. I really appreciate that from all of you.
Im curious, now that @kathygriffin has her twitter account back, will she go back to tweeting there at all, if she does will she still be active here?
Anyone hear if she made any comments on this?
As I attempt to go back off grid for the first time in decades, this time with a family in tow, I'm struck by just how much the solar, and by extension renewable energy, industry has changed.
What once was geared towards people living an alternative lifestyle is now centered around making yuppies in the suburbs believe that they're saving the world if they grid-tie some solar panels on their roof and charge their Tesla at home. It's populated by "business managers" who are only interested is seeing how many shoddily done jobs they can slap up in a short amount of time who mask that fact by pretending to care about the environment to their customers.
I have yet to have a positive interaction with anyone in the industry about actual self-sustainability. They just don't care. It's all so....corporate and phony now.
This is a real disappointment in my current life. Can't even drop out of society effectively anymore.
@freemo @MrsDi @EubieDrew I, also, spent more time than was probably healthy searching for the right place to land here on Mastodon. If that's the price, then that's the price. Meet The Dude, commonly called Dudely by the kids.
@freemo @EubieDrew
That we can do! Here is Moose sending wishes for a relaxing weekend and great appreciation for the super cool space we find ourselves in here at QOTO! 😎

@Gargron We have a weird bug with one of our users, something we never saw before... during the height of the twitter influx I suspended one of our users and later after a vote @trinsec unsuspended him. A few days later he spontaniously got resuspended without showing in our audit log and no mod claimed to do it. Since then we noticed many times the user becoming suspended and unsuspended with no audit trail, manually reverting it doesnt fix anything. It appears casually linked to @trinsec viewing the user's page, if they refresh enough times it triggers it flipping.
Any idea what could possibly going on?
I found this picture of my old, and only, #horse BC. He taught me to ride and moved to Kentucky with me when I started grad school. We were a pair for over 20 years until he passed away in Bluegrass country. I really miss him.
I really like that the complete peer review is now available for everyone to look at: https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41592-022-01669-y/MediaObjects/41592_2022_1669_MOESM3_ESM.pdf
People from the Other Place.
This tool will find the Mast accounts of your Other Place followers/followees. The other one I've seen only finds people who cross post, this finds them ALL
